A dance party featuring great tunes, glowsticks and plenty of fun will be part of the 2022 MOVE It Expo when it is held at the Bundaberg Multiplex next weekend.
For 10 years the Bundaberg Regional Council-run event has been helping the community to stay on track with health and fitness by bringing local sporting clubs, trainers and health and wellbeing experts together in the one space.
Sport and Recreation portfolio spokesperson Cr Vince Habermann said more than 40 stallholders would be part of this year's MOVE It Expo with plenty on offer for the community.
“The MOVE It Expo provides a platform for people to find a sporting club, organisation or business that will help their physical and mental wellbeing,” he said.
“During the expo there will also be a number of demonstrations including a blow-up hockey field, a mechanical surfboard, radio controlled cars and taekwondo.”
Cr Habermann said the 2022 event would also feature the first-ever MOVE It Expo after party, with Zumba and Clubbercise on the agenda.
He said the party would mark the end of MOVE It while raising money for Angels Community Group through gold coin donations.
“Clubbercise and Zumba activities will be featured, with neon glow sticks and disco lighting brightening up the hall to create a fun atmosphere,” Cr Habermann said.
“This event is a fantastic extension to celebrate the expo while raising some much needs funds for a great charity.
“If you like the idea of moving freely in a comfortable and social environment while getting fit at the same time then I highly recommend coming along and giving it a go.”
Angels was decided as the charity of choice by expo providers, who wanted to recognise the tireless work the organisations put into supporting the community and the younger generations.
This Move It Expo After Party is open to everyone, with those individuals 16 and over needing to be fully vaccinated.
